Hey, this is beth from scanlime.org. I was doing my best to keep the site up, but it looks like Dreamhost just pulled the plug. I'm pretty annoyed with this.

- kephra 14y agooh HN managed a DDoS again 608 points should be around 60.000 visitors. Thats something any site should be able to handle, but ... http://dreamhost.com/servers/vps/ http://dreamhost.com/servers/vps/ <- All VPS plans come with UNLIMITED Bandwidth and Storage. UNLIMITED ... till they pull the plug lol But it might also just be that the site is overloaded. I sometimes get an "Error establishing a database connection" and sometimes "Problem loading page". So there is still a server who desperately tries to answer requests. What kind of server do you have at dreamhost? A VPS? Is that VPS some Viruozzo/OpenVZ crap, or a Xen instance?
- cup 14y agoThe post is also on the front page of the technology subreddit so that is probably pulling in a few thousand more people too.
